On point 4, I'd wonder that it's because the author is British. There's a whole nervousness about referring to anyone using race as a differentiator (lest you be considered racist?). To the point where someone will describe s

I've recently become really interested in things around the periphery of secure systems keys etc. For example in this scenario, what happens if one of key-holders dies? Presumably the remaining are enough for a quorum, but say somethi

Title comes from their blog post, which does make sense in that context (it's their first post). Doesn't work out of context though.

MirageOS is more than just a research project. It's deployed in the wild by folks who weren't active researchers. I'd certainly call it an open-source project in its own right. e.g. http://amirchaudhry.com/uni

I'd still take issue with that but at this point we'd end up discussing the semantics of 'entrepreneur', 'startup' and 'business'.

Indeed. Just consider all those "Our incredible journey" posts that used to come with news of an acquihire. Would those early customers consider it a 'success'?

You're assuming that HN isn't keeping track of how often you downvote (or any patterns). Without knowing the set up, it's difficult to infer much. Of course, revealing that info might lead to gaming the system.

Although this is a shame it is yet another sign (for me) that the 'Internet of Things' is going to be DoA if we have to also rely on them for a backend cloud service. Most of these devices could be run in a completely decentrali
